Sebastien Ogier in action on the picturesque Monte Carlo stages.
“It was a difficult day but we’re here and still leading,” said Ogier.“It would have been better without the spin, we would have been a minute ahead. Tomorrow must be better.” Tänak climbed from an overnight fifth but lacked the confidence to push hard in the heavy rain on his Toyota Gazoo Racing debut. Driving a Yaris, the Estonian won two of the day’s six speed tests and was one of three drivers to take on the mantle of Ogier’s closest pursuer.
Ott Tanak finished the day within striking distance of leader, Sebastien Ogier.
Esapakka Lappi has been consistent, and currently sits in the top five.
